ORDERS AND DELIVERY INFORMATION

How does Glengower Meats ordering / delivery s work?

Glenden does a (currently) monthly delivery to all of the Glengower customers across Victoria. He sets the delivery dates a month in advance so that everyone knows when their orders will be delivered and when they need to have their orders in by. For example Glenden will put on social media and the webpage in January that the ‘February delivery will be on Friday the 16th of with last orders by Monday the 5th of February.’ This will allow you approx 2 weeks to get your orders to Glenden, he will then confirm he has received your order.

Once this occurs and orders close Glenden then selects the best animals which he then transports to Kyneton Abettors. The stock is returned to Avoca’s Pyrenees Premium Cuts butcher shop where it is butchered to your order the day prior to delivery.

While that is all happening, Glenden gets back in contact with you via text message, phone call or email (which ever you prefer) approx 3 to 4 days prior to the delivery day with a time that he will be in your area to delivery your meat. For example the message will be along the lines of ‘I will delivery your order between 10:00 and 10:30 AM this Friday the 16th, I will text you when I am approx 30 min away to confirm my delivery time, if this doesn’t suit or if you have any questions please let me know’.

From here Glenden then again message on the delivery day when he is approx 30 min from your delivery location to ensure you know he is running to schedule and that you can be ready to collect the delivery.

The meat is butchered freshly to your order, so all meat comes to your fresh, lightly chilled at between 2 and 4 degrees in the Glengower prime safe accredited cool room.

The start of Glengower Meats

– A NOTE FROM GLENDEN –

I am the youngest son of Glenda and Denis. Dad’s a 6th generation farmer and has been managing Glengower along with mum for the past 40 years. I’ve always been very involved in the farm and remain focused on continuing the farming tradition at Glengower like my ancestors.

Once I completed VCE at our local P-12 college, I was accepted to study a degree in Farm Business Management at Marcus Oldham College in Geelong. It was while completing my final year at Marcus Oldham that I started what has now become Glengower Meats. I began delivering our farm fresh meat to friends and family whilst returning to uni after spending holidays and weekends at home on the farm. Now the Glengower Meats ‘meat run’ returns to Geelong on a monthly basis, delivering its consistently delicious lamb and beef to new friends along the route, as well as those who helped establish the business back in 2013.
